Online gaming is meant to be enjoyable entertainment. PG99 provides tools and guidance to help every Filipino player stay in control — of their time, their budget, and their wellbeing.

1. What Is Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means approaching online gaming as a form of entertainment — not as a way to earn income or solve financial problems. At PG99, we believe every player deserves access to tools and information that help them make informed decisions about how they play.

Online slots, live casino games, eBingo, and sports betting on platforms like PG99 are designed to be fun. The outcomes are random, and no strategy, system, or pattern can guarantee a win. Every session carries financial risk, and the house always has a mathematical edge over time. Understanding this is the first step toward playing responsibly.

Whether you are playing from Manila, Cebu, Davao, or anywhere else in the Philippines, the same principle applies: set your limits before you start, stick to them, and treat any winnings as a bonus — not an expectation.

2. Age Verification Policy

PG99 is strictly for players aged 21 and above. This is a firm policy with no exceptions. Age verification is carried out during the KYC process that is required before your first withdrawal is released. Players who are found to be under 21 will have their accounts suspended immediately and any balances will be handled in accordance with PG99's terms.

If you are a parent or guardian, we encourage you to use device-level parental controls to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. If you suspect that a minor has registered on PG99, please contact our support team right away.

21+ Rule: By creating a PG99 account, you confirm that you are at least 21 years of age. PG99 reserves the right to request identity verification at any time to confirm age and identity.

3. Self-Management Tools

PG99 provides a set of account management tools designed to help players stay within their own boundaries. These tools are available through your account settings and can be adjusted at any time. Setting limits before you start a gaming session is one of the most effective ways to keep gaming enjoyable.

  • Deposit Limits — set a maximum amount in PHP that you can deposit over a defined period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once the limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets.
  • Session Time Reminders — configure reminders that notify you how long you have been playing. This helps prevent extended sessions from going unnoticed.
  • Bet History Access — review your complete bet history and transaction records at any time through your account. Transparency over your own activity is a core part of responsible play.
  • Cooling-Off Period — take a short break from gaming by requesting a temporary account restriction. During a cooling-off period, you will not be able to log in or place bets.
  • Self-Exclusion — for a more extended break, players can request self-exclusion. See the section below for details.

4. Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. It does not always look like what you might expect. These are some of the patterns that may suggest gambling is becoming a problem rather than entertainment:

  • You find yourself spending more than you planned, or returning to try and recover losses
  • Gaming is taking time away from work, studies, family, or social life
  • You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not playing
  • You are hiding your gaming activity or its financial impact from people close to you
  • You are using money set aside for bills, food, or other essentials to fund gaming
  • You have borrowed money or sold belongings to continue playing
  • Gaming has become a way to cope with stress, loneliness, or emotional difficulties

Experiencing some of these signs does not mean you cannot get help. Recognising the pattern early makes it much easier to take action. PG99 encourages any player who identifies with these signs to use our self-management tools or seek external support.

5. Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a voluntary decision to stop using PG99 for a set period or indefinitely. It is one of the most direct and effective tools available for players who feel their gaming is becoming difficult to control.

When self-exclusion is active on your account:

  • You will not be able to log in or access any PG99 games or features
  • Promotional communications from PG99 will be paused
  • Any pending withdrawals will be processed in accordance with PG99's standard procedures

To request self-exclusion, contact PG99 support using the email address displayed in the footer of this page. Please include your registered account details and your preferred exclusion period. Our team will process your request promptly.

Reinstating a self-excluded account requires a deliberate request and a cooling-off review period. We will not automatically reactivate accounts at the end of an exclusion period without your confirmed request.

6. Practical Tips for Staying in Control

These are straightforward habits that experienced players use to keep gaming enjoyable over the long term:

  • Set a fixed gaming budget in PHP before you start. Only use money you are comfortable losing entirely — never chase losses to recover your budget.
  • Set a time limit for each session. Use your phone's timer or PG99's session reminder feature. When the timer goes off, log out.
  • Never gamble when you are stressed, tired, or emotional. Decision-making quality drops significantly in these states, and gaming under emotional pressure often leads to overspending.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away between sessions. Gaming should fit naturally into your free time, not consume it.
  • Keep gaming separate from financial goals. Online gaming is not an investment strategy. Do not use it to try to pay bills, cover loans, or supplement income.
  • Talk openly with someone you trust. If gaming is affecting your relationships or finances, speaking with a friend, family member, or counsellor is a positive step.

7. Getting Support

If you feel that gaming is causing difficulties in your life — financially, emotionally, or in your relationships — support is available. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

PG99 support can assist with account-level actions like setting deposit limits, requesting a cooling-off period, or initiating self-exclusion. Contact us using the email address in the footer below.

For personal counselling and community support around gambling-related concerns, we recommend reaching out to mental health and community welfare services available in your area across the Philippines. Professional guidance from trained counsellors can make a significant difference, and many services are available at no cost.

Remember: gaming is entertainment. If it stops being fun, it is always okay to step away.

How PG99 Supports Responsible Play

We have built responsible gaming into the platform — not as an afterthought, but as a core part of the PG99 experience.

Deposit Limit Controls

Cap your PHP deposits on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your set limit is reached, the platform prevents further deposits until the period resets — keeping your budget firmly in your hands.

Session Time Reminders

It is easy to lose track of time during an engaging session. PG99's session reminders notify you when you have reached your preset play time, helping you make a conscious choice about whether to continue.

Full Bet History Access

Your complete transaction and bet history is always available through your account. Reviewing your actual activity regularly is one of the most effective ways to stay aware of your gaming patterns.

Cooling-Off Periods

Need a short break without committing to full self-exclusion? Request a cooling-off period on your account. During this time your login access is paused so you can step back and reassess without pressure.

Self-Exclusion Option

If you need a longer break, PG99's self-exclusion tool lets you suspend your account for an extended period. No promotional messages, no login access — just the space you need to take care of yourself.

Strict Age Verification

Every PG99 account undergoes identity and age verification as part of the KYC process. The 21+ rule is non-negotiable — it protects young people and maintains a safe environment for all players.

Is Your Gaming Still in Balance?

Take a moment to honestly reflect on the following questions. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be worth using PG99's self-management tools or speaking to someone you trust.

1

Have you spent more on gaming this month than you originally planned?

2

Have you returned to play specifically to try to recover money you lost in a previous session?

3

Has gaming taken time away from work, studies, or people important to you?

4

Have you felt the need to hide how often or how much you are playing from family or friends?

5

Have you used money meant for essential expenses — rent, food, utilities — to fund gaming?

6

Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play?

Steps You Can Take Right Now

Set a deposit limit on your account

Log in to your PG99 account settings and configure a PHP deposit cap that fits your actual entertainment budget.

Enable session time reminders

Turn on session reminders so the platform alerts you after a defined playtime. Small nudges make a real difference.

Contact PG99 support for a break

Email us using the address in the footer to request a cooling-off period or self-exclusion. We will action your request promptly and without judgment.

Talk to someone you trust

A family member, close friend, or community counsellor can offer perspective and support. You do not have to navigate this on your own.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

You can configure deposit limits directly from your PG99 account settings once you are logged in. Choose a daily, weekly, or monthly cap in PHP. The limit takes effect immediately. If you need assistance locating the setting, contact our support team using the email in the footer.

A cooling-off period is a short temporary pause — typically a few days to a few weeks — where your account access is suspended. Self-exclusion is a longer, more formal break that can extend for months or be indefinite. Both are voluntary and can be requested by contacting PG99 support. Self-exclusion accounts are not automatically reactivated; you must submit a deliberate request after the exclusion period ends.

Yes. Any balance remaining in your PG99 account at the time of self-exclusion will be processed for withdrawal in accordance with our standard withdrawal procedures. You will not be able to place new bets or access the platform during the exclusion, but your funds remain yours. Contact support for assistance with pending withdrawals.

PG99 requires all players to be 21 years of age or older. This is a strict policy. Age is verified through the KYC process that must be completed before your first withdrawal. Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 will be suspended immediately.

No. All casino games — including slots, live dealer games, and eBingo — are governed by random number generators and fixed house edges. Over a large number of sessions, the mathematical advantage always sits with the platform. There is no guaranteed system, pattern, or strategy that produces consistent long-term profits. Online gaming should be treated purely as entertainment, not as a source of income.
